"I'm going to try and make sure it feels as good as possible," I reassured her.

It was my responsibility as the more experienced partner to ensure I did everything I could to make sure she had the best first time she could. I was not used to the responsibility of another on my shoulders.

My eyes flickered to her mouth. It looked so inviting, any strength I had to fight the urge to kiss her and make her mine was gone. I closed the distance between our lips and kissed her. Seconds later I felt her hands on my chest and I began to explore her mouth.

I stroked her tongue with mine and she bunched my shirt in her hands. She tasted so sweet, like strawberries with a hint of apple. Every touch, every breath, only intensified the beating of my heart and my senses.

I wanted to bury myself into her as quickly as possible but I stopped myself.Take it slowly.

We had way too many clothes on and it was time to remedy that. I pulled away to unbutton her shirt. When I pushed the fabric off her shoulders she shrugged out of it.

My eyes slid over her half-naked form, allowing myself to take in every beautiful curve on display for my enjoyment. I was so turned on and it was intensified by the mirrored heat in her eyes. I wanted to free her breasts from the confines of her bra. I wanted to tease them with my mouth and the scrape of my teeth.

Whatever happened tonight between us was what we both wanted. There was no hiding it or fighting it.

It would happen, and afterward wasn't something I wanted to think about right now.
